Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: Control

Participants in this study arm will receive no form of feedback.

Other: Benchmarked Feedback

Participants in this study arm will receive benchmarked feedback regarding their perioperative temperature management.

Behavioral: Benchmarked Feedback
Participants receive data, during the 6 month intervention phase, regarding their monthly temperature management performance in the form of benchmarked feedback, which is the measure of their performance in comparison the standard set by the hospital.

Other: Ranked Feedback

Participants in this study arm will receive ranked feedback regarding their perioperative temperature management.

Behavioral: Ranked Feedback
Participants receive data, during the 6 month intervention phase, regarding their monthly temperature management performance in the form of ranked feedback, which is the measure of their performance in comparison to their peers.

Outcome Measures
